Abstract: (arXiv)
Brand-new high-precision data for single-spin asymmetry in small angle elastic scattering from the fixed target experiment HJET at BNL at and 255 \mbox{ GeV}, as well as high energy STAR measurements at \sqrt{s}=200 \mbox{ GeV}, for the first time allowed to determine the spin-flip to non-flip ratio in a wide energy range. We introduced an essential modification in the Coulomb-nuclear interference (CNI) mechanism, missed in previous analyses. It can be formulated either as a modification of the Coulomb phase, which is much larger for the spin-flip compared with non-flip amplitudes, or as absorptive corrections to the electromagnetic interaction of hadrons. The Regge analysis singles out the Pomeron contribution to the spin-flip amplitude, which steeply rises with energy. We found the spin-flip to non-flip ratio of the Pomeron amplitudes to be nearly , steeply rising with energy in accordance with theoretical expectations.Note:
